SHAMPQOING-STAND.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed July 16, 1917. Serial No. 180,721.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EDWARD F. Nu'rrnn, a citizen of the United States of America and resident of Newburg, county of Preston, and State of l Vest'Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in ShampooingStands, of which the following is aspecification. I l I This invention relates broadly to lavatories, and more specifically to a shampooing apparatus. a I

The primary object of the invention is to provide a portable lavatory designed for shainpooing purposes and which is adapted for use in association with barber's chairs that is, the device is adapted to be moved up close behind the back of a barbers'chair into such position that a shampoo may be admin, istered to the occupant of the chair while he rests in a comfortable reclining position in such chair.

With this and other minor objects in view, the invention resides in the features of con struction, arrangement of parts and combinations of elements which will hereinafter be fully described, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a front elevation of the invention;

Fig. 2 is a view partlyin side elevation and partly in section, the section being taken on the liltin -2," Fig. 1; r

Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail view, partlyin section, of the adjustable head rest; and

Fig. it is a section on line M, Fig. 3.

Referring to said drawings, in which like designating characters distinguish like parts throughout the several views A indicates generally a supporting frame or stand mounted upon wheels or casters and preferably composed of upright metallic members or legs 1, cross-members 2 and suitable braces 3, but which may be otherwise constructed as desired. Rigidly mounted upon said frame or stand is a lavatory comprising a bowl 1, a rear portion or wall 5 and opposite upright side portions or walls 6. Mounted upon the lavatory in a suitable position, preferably in the flat table portion 7 which extends forward from the bowl 4, are hot and cold water valves 8 to which water is conducted in a suitable manner, as through flexible hose (not shown) connected to nipples 9 projecting downward through said table portion 7. A nipple 10 is also carried by said valves for receiving thereon the end of a flexible hose carrying a spray nozzle or other water-discharge attachment used in shampooing. I w

'Rigidly mounted upon the lavatory be hind and closely adjacent to the rim of the bowl 1 is a pair ofstandards 11 connected at a suitable distance below their upper ends by a transverse rod or member 12.- The up per ends 11 of said standards. lie parallel and are inclined forward into overhanging relation to the bowl 1 and are loosely received within pair of parallel. tubular members 13 which-are rigidly connectedat their upper ends by a transverse inverted arch 11, said members 13 and arch 1st constituting an adjustable head, support. tubular or telescoping members 13 have a series of notches or teeth 15 on the under sides thereof adapted to be engaged by lateral pawl-like arms 16 carried by the upper end of a plate-like member 16 which is pivotally mounted upon the rod 12. 0011 Iatehted Oct. 30,1917."

springs 17 encircling said rod 12 at opposite sides of the pivoted member 16and attached to the latter serve to normally hold the latter in a position in which its arms 16 engage teeth 15 of said telescoping members 13 for supporting the latter in adjustedposit-ion. Rearwardly directed hand pressure applied to the lower end or projecting lobe: 16 of said member 16 serves to disengage the arms-16 from the teeth 15, permitting adjustment of said head rest.

The rear wall 5 has an arch-like recess 18 formed therein designed for the reception of the neck of a person whose head rests upon the head rest.

In practice, the device herein described is moved up close behind the reclining back of a barbers chair and the head of the occupant is laid back upon the head rest which, as shown, directly overhangs the bowl 4:.

A tank 19 for waste water is removably mounted within the embrace of the frame A, the same being coupled, as illustrated at 20, to the bottom of the bowl 1. A transverse bar 21 is preferably provided across the front of the frame for holding the tank 19 in place, said bar being pivoted at one end upon a leg 1 and having its opposite end engageable with a bolt or the like carried by an opposite leg.

While I have herein described the invention more or less in detail, it will be understood that I do not limit myself to the pro cise details of construction shown and tie scribed, it being obvious that various alterations in the form and arrangement of some of'the parts may be resorted to without de parting from the spirit or scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims;

What isclaimed is- 1. A shampooing stand comprising a wheeled frame, a lavatory mounted upon saidframe and consisting of a bowl and walls inc-losing said bowl on three sides, one of said sides having a neck-receiving recess therein, supports mounted upon said lavatory adjacent and forward with respect to said recess, and a head rest adjustably mounted upon said supports in overhanging relation to said bowl.

2 A shampooing stand comprising a wheeled frame, a lavatory mounted upon said frame and consisting of a bowl and walls partially inclosing said bowl, supports mounted upon said lavatory and having portions inclined into overhanging relation to said bowl, and a head rest adjustably mounted on said bowl-overhanging portions.

3. A shampooing stand comprising a wheeled frame, a lavatory mounted upon said frame and consisting of a bowl and Walls partially inclosing said bowl, stationary supports occupying inclined positions in overhanging relation to said bowl, a headre'st having portions mounted in telescoping relationto'said supports, and spring-pressed means for holding said telescoping portions in adjusted position.

- 4. A- sl1an1pooing stand comprising a wheeled frame, a lavatory mounted upon said frame and consisting of a bowl and walls partially inclosing said bowl, upright standards mounted upon said lavatory rearward of said'bowl and having their upper 4 ends inclined forward over said bowl, and a head-rest adjustably mounted upon said inclined ends.

5. A shampooing stand comprising a wheeled frame, a lavatory mounted upon said frame and consisting of a bowl and walls partially inclosing said bowl, upright standards mounted upon said lavatory rearward 'of said bowl and having their upper ends inclined forward over said bowl, a headrest having tubular members mounted upon said inclined ends of said standards, teeth carried by said tubular members, and a spring-held pivoted plate having portions engageable withsaid teeth for holding said members in adjusted position.

6. A shampooing stand of the character described comprising ,a wheeled frame, a lavatory mounted upon said frame and comprising a bowl and walls partially inclosing said bowl, valves carried by said lavatory through which water may be supplied, a waste-water receptacle carried by the lower part ofsaid frame and connected to said lavatory, the rear wall of said lavatory having a neck-receiving recess therein, and a head-rest adjustably mounted, in front of said recessvand in overhanging relation to said bowl.

In testimony whereof, I am): my signature in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
